Префектура Кумамото, Япония: отели категории 2 звезды

Impeccable Service From the moment we arrived, the hospitality at Takenokura Sansou was exceptional. The receptionist came out to the car park to welcome us personally and escorted us to the reception office. He and his colleague then helped unload our luggage and thoughtfully delivered everything to our room. The warmth extended well beyond the front desk. As we walked through the dining hall en route to our room, even the chef greeted us with a smile, which immediately made us feel genuinely welcomed. The staff took the time to explain all the room amenities in detail, including how to adjust the temperature of the private outdoor onsen. At the dining hall, the service team was consistently friendly and approachable, despite my limited Japanese. They served us with patience and sincerity—even when my son happily requested four servings of their heavenly dinner rolls. Upon checkout, the team came out again to bid us farewell. This was, without question, the best service we experienced throughout our 18-day journey across Kyushu. Facilities While some aspects of the room décor and appliances are dated, everything was immaculately clean. As someone particularly fussy about bedding, I can confidently say that Takenokura Sansou offers the best futon I have experienced since I began traveling to Japan in 1999. The quilt was fluffy and soft, while the futon was firm yet incredibly comfortable. I honestly wanted to stay longer just for the sleep. The private outdoor onsen was the highlight of our stay. The small garden was beautifully arranged, creating a serene and intimate atmosphere. The water temperature could be easily adjusted, and soaking while gazing up at the sky was pure enjoyment. The room layout was clearly well thought out, with the shower located just before the outdoor onsen and a door to keep out the cold—allowing you to warm up comfortably before stepping outside into the winter air. A small heater near the porch area by the toilet would be a welcome addition to make late-night visits more comfortable, but this is a very minor suggestion. Dining This was probably the best dinner we had during our time in Kyushu. Takenokura Sansou surprised us with a beautifully executed fusion-style, course-by-course kaiseki meal. Combined with cocktails and warm interactions with the charming and friendly oba-chan service staff, the entire dining experience embodied what I love most about Japan: excellent food, heartfelt service, and meticulous attention to detail. One moment stood out in particular. When my son asked—in English—whether he could have a fourth serving of the dinner roll, the chef unexpectedly emerged from the open kitchen and personally served him a freshly toasted roll with soft butter. We were genuinely delighted and deeply touched by this thoughtful gesture. Conclusion Everything about our stay at Takenokura Sansou was exceptional. My only regret is booking just one night. I will most certainly return if I visit the Mount Aso area again. Well done, Takenokura Sansou—you truly deserve this praise.

Я никогда не останавливался в молодежном общежитии, потому что боюсь толпы и шума. Но молодежный хостел, который я забронировал на этот раз, оказался лучше, чем я ожидал! Во-первых, возможно, в межсезонье не так много людей. Мне очень повезло, что у меня есть отдельная комната! Дом чистый и опрятный, видно, что хозяин очень заботится о поддержании дома. Босс и его жена также очень хорошо относятся к обслуживанию. Расположение дома действительно отличное. Прямо напротив станции Jr. Меньше пяти минут ходьбы. Супер удобно. Рядом с ним есть Лоусон, где можно купить что-нибудь поесть. Вы также можете купить ингредиенты для приготовления. Просто я не умею готовить, поэтому просто купила чего-нибудь поесть. Я видел группу корейцев, которые были так счастливы готовить и есть. У них на кухне был кофе и чай! Как только вы откроете окно в комнате, вы увидите гору Асо. Это действительно здорово, вид такой красивый и ночью, и днем! В следующий раз, когда у меня будет возможность, я обязательно поеду в Асо, чтобы покататься на вертолете. На этот раз вертолет был закрыт из-за плохой погоды, что было немного жаль! Асу произвела на меня большое впечатление.

I honestly do not know where to start, I booked the hotel without really knowing much about Kumamoto Prefecture. After arriving in Kumamoto City and then realising Ueki Onsen is another 40 minute bus ride I was thinking oh dear where am I staying. After arriving at the hotel I was greeted by the manager of the hotel who showed me to my room and gave me a tour of the facilities. Once settled in I realised there isn't great public transport around and I primarily wanted to see Beppu and Yufuin during my stay, I enquired with the manager on where I might be able to rent a car, with little to no Japanese language under my belt he took it upon himself to reserve a vehicle for me and offered to drive me himself to collect it. He then also said he would take me back to return it a few days later. After my trips to Beppu and Yufui village (Not to be missed) and not to miss the outstanding and beautiful surroundings in Uekimachi and the Aso region. The manager and I set off to return my hire car, on the way back he took me to Kikuchi shrine to pray and also gifted me coffee and cake. They also accommodated me with use of the on site onsen (amazing) after hours as I'm heavily tattooed. I feel truly grateful to have found this hidden gem of rural Japan and if you are thinking of traveling this great country I emplore you to go off the beaten path. I experienced untold kindness during my stay and have memories of a life time. Thank you so much guys

The place was spotless and our room had two twin beds, a kitchenette, and the toilet space was modern and sparkling. What made this the best was its location on a little beach surrounded by mountains. Lots of parking for the cars (you have to drive there as it is remote) and the proprieters went above and beyond to give us a map of the area in English with notes telling us where cherry blossoms were blooming at that time and other things. Every day when we returned to the room there was a basket by the door with refreshed supplies. Our room had everything you needed to cook as well as a little table. You have to bring food from Amakusa City as there is no place to shop nearby but once you are there it is totally worth it. There is also plenty of picnic table style seating on the front patio of the rest house. We did not use them but they had stand-up paddleboards, snorkle gear, etc. The sound of the waves and lots of places to hike nearby were amazing.

Это хороший частный дом. Но я не рекомендую, если погода холодная или идет дождь, или если вы путешествуете с маленькими детьми. Я путешествовал с семьей с двумя малышами. Баня и онсэн находятся на открытом воздухе, не очень хорошо освещены и плохо крыты. Напор горячей воды низкий, вода либо очень горячая, либо очень холодная. В ту ночь было холодно, шел дождь и ветрено. Из-за вышесказанного для нас это был ужасный опыт, а детям было очень трудно принимать ванну. И мы боялись, что они могут простудиться. И как ни странно дверной замок ванны запирается снаружи, а не изнутри. Также не забудьте купить еду перед входом. Мы купили свой и приготовили себе ужин. В остальном это хороший частный дом, наверное, лучший для взрослых.

The hotel room was very spacious and clean. Our room faced the east and just next to the sea, so we could watch the sunset with sea view; it was very beautiful! There are men & women salt baths available for guests on the ground floor. There are ample car parking lots. Had breakfast just next to the sea! The spread was quite good with salad, rice, few local dishes, fish, soup, natto, etc. Dinner set meals with fish/sashimi were really fresh and delicious. We had a peaceful and happy stay. Staff were friendly, attentive and warm too. I was surprised to receive a souvenir when I check out!

Какой замечательный опыт! Очень рад, что мы провели одну ночь в этом уникальном месте. Персонал был чрезвычайно услужлив и добр. Номера очень приличные, учитывая, что это старый спальный поезд. Просто имейте в виду, что номера довольно узкие, поэтому в номере не так много места для хранения багажа. А другие удобства (ванная, общая комната) не в изобилии, но чистые и вполне достаточные для того, чтобы провести ночь.

The hotel is located right at one of the very busy shopping streets of Kumamoto with many shops and restaurants. We had had very pleasant stroll there and had dinner and snack. The room is very spacious and clean. The two matt glass windows cannot be opened per se. One has light and the other very little. The soap provided is of better quality than that of the other hotels I have stayed in. The dispenser says Kao.

Airport Hotel Kumamoto is a highly convenient and comfortable option for travelers flying in or out of Kumamoto Airport. Its proximity to the airport, free shuttle service, modern amenities, and on-site dining options make it an excellent choice for both short stays and business trips. The hotel also offers easy access to Kumamoto City’s main attractions, making it suitable for those exploring the region as well.
